Porto Cristo Weather
Today's weather in Porto Cristo
Currently the thermometer reads 34.3°C, feeling like 39.6°C, with bright sunshine and a light breeze around 14.4 km/h — in short, hot and dry. Official figures list a high of 29°C and a low of 23.4°C for today; precipitation is only 3%.
The day will remain generally sunny and stable, with noticeable heat around midday, though the wind provides some cooling by the water. If you're outdoors, plan regular shade and water breaks; the air is dry, so sweating feels more pronounced than in humid heat. For walks along the natural harbour it's more pleasant late in the afternoon when the sun eases off.
Perfect for a beach day and cool caves
A short morning visit to the beach in Porto Cristo suits the temperature well; afterward it's worth swinging by the Coves del Drach — the Dragon Caves offer steady coolness, and the concert on the underground lake is a genuine local tip. In the evening, the seafood restaurants at the harbour are ideal for winding the day down.
Tomorrow: sunny, around 28.9°C.

Climate in Porto Cristo — the harbor and its east coast weather
Porto Cristo sits at one of the most recognized natural harbors on Mallorca's east coast, framed by limestone cliffs and open to the sea facing east. That geography has real climatic consequences: the town lies beyond the sheltering influence of the Serra de Tramuntana, receives easterly and southeasterly winds directly, and benefits from a reliable sea breeze in summer.
According to aggregator climate data for the Manacor region, Porto Cristo receives around 586 mm of precipitation per year — considerably more than the 449 mm AEMET records for Palma. This is the east coast effect: autumn Mediterranean low-pressure systems typically approach the east coast from the southeast, triggering heavy rainfall there. November is the wettest month at around 104 mm; in summer, Porto Cristo is as dry as the rest of the island — July averages barely more than around 8 mm.
Summer temperatures are somewhat more moderate than in Palma: daily highs in July run around 29°C, with a daily mean of around 25°C. For a beach-friendly climate, that's ideal — the easterly sea breeze noticeably cools the waterfront promenades on hot days. Sea temperatures along the east coast reach around 25°C in July and peak at around 26–27°C in August.
Autumn brings not only rain to Porto Cristo but also still-warm sea temperatures: in October the water sits at around 23°C, drawing divers and snorkelers who want to avoid the peak-summer crowds. The Coves del Drach, just a few minutes' walk from the town center, are one reason Porto Cristo draws visitors well outside high season.
Winters are mild and wet. The daily mean in January sits at around 11–12°C. Frost on the coast is extremely rare. Visiting Porto Cristo outside the main season means experiencing it as a quiet fishing harbor — the main street sees far fewer day-trippers than in summer.
More background on the town can be found in the Porto Cristo Travel Guide. For comparison, it's worth checking the Mallorca Climate Chart as well as the East Coast Weather.
Note on data sources: Porto Cristo has no dedicated AEMET climate normal station. The specific monthly values are drawn from aggregator climate data for the Manacor region (T3 source) and should be treated as indicative figures.
